dbx_connect() returns an object on success, FALSE on error. If a connection has been made but the database could not be selected, the connection is closed and FALSE is returned. The persistent parameter can be set to DBX_PERSISTENT, if so, a persistent connection will be created.
The module parameter can be either a string or a constant, though the latter form is preferred. The possible values are given below, but keep in mind that they only work if the module is actually loaded.
DBX_MYSQL or "mysql"
DBX_ODBC or "odbc"
DBX_PGSQL or "pgsql"
DBX_MSSQL or "mssql"
DBX_FBSQL or "fbsql" (available from PHP 4.1.0)
DBX_SYBASECT or "sybase_ct" (CVS only)
The host, database, username and password parameters are expected, but not always used depending on the connect functions for the abstracted module.
The returned object has three properties:
It is the name of the currently selected database.
It is a valid handle for the connected database, and as such it can be used in module-specific functions (if required).
It is used internally by dbx only, and is actually the module number mentioned above.
Notatka: Always refer to the module-specific documentation as well.
